It's the dream of anyone who's ever walked into a Ken-Taco Fried Bell (AKA a KFC and Taco Bell combined): A Crunchwrap with a layer of fried chicken in it, instead of ground beef. Now, that dream is a reality — and you don't have to hunt down one of those elusive hybrid stores to get it. Taco Bell released a Crunchwrap-esque dish known as the Chickstar.
If that name sounds familiar, that's because the Chickstar is nothing new for the brand. T-Bell briefly sold Chickstars in 2015, and after people begged and tweeted for their return, they're baaaack. With a slight twist. This version uses the brand's new Naked Chicken Chips — boneless, flattened, triangle-shaped pieces of fried chicken meant to mimic tortilla chips — that are arranged in a pentagon shape, then layered with shredded cheddar, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and avocado ranch dressing and wrapped in a massive tortilla.
Technically, it's not a Crunchwrap — there's no crunchy tortilla layer in there, and hey, they didn't name it that — but the resemblance to the frisbee-shaped food is uncanny.
Also, unlike the Crunchwrap, it's not a permanent menu item. It, like the Naked Chicken Chips, are only available for a limited time, though Taco Bell hasn't announced just how limited, exactly, that window is.
